Snow in New Mexico

Lots of places up north haven't gotten winter weather or even snow yet, but for some crazy reason we did in southern New Mexico!   Last night I had to go to the post office and on the way back home people were slipping and sliding everywhere.  All the schools were shutdown today because of the snow and the ice on the roads.  People here just don't know how to deal with it.

This is when we first came outside.  The girls were both so excited about playing in the snow.  I think their excitement dwindled the longer we were out there though.  It was a balmy 24 degrees .  We tried to build a snowman but the snow was too powdery, so Whitney and Brooke made snow angels instead.

The girls spent about ten minutes playing in it this morning and then they were ready to come inside.  You can see Whitney was ready to come inside by the look on her face when I asked them to stand there for one more picture.
